Life Movie Synopsis:
The International Space Station as the movie calls it, decides to start an expedition of the six-member crew that is on their way back with a soil sample collected in Mars. They are to study and prove the existence of life on the dead planet Mars. Once the cell sample is under the microscope, an exobiology by the name of Hugh Derry brings the dormant piece of the sample back to life. This grows day by day into a complete organism. As suggested by Dr. Miranda North it is “all muscle, all brain all eye”.This makes it a multicellular organism that can breathe, move, eat and possibly reproduce. It starts to move and react to stimuli on daily basis. In other words, it has myocyte, neuron and photoreceptor packing into one single mold.

The crew comes up with a name for this being. They call it Calvin, which keeps growing in the small petri dish inside the lab. Soon after a while, Calvin goes dormant again. This is due to some incident that happened in the lab. Now the crew is worried about how to make it live again. Therefore, Hugh decides to bring Calvin back to life by giving a series of electric shock to the dormant creature. The creature comes back to life but has repercussions that no one predicts. It is no more the friendly happy being. It is hostile and dangerous. It spins its tentacles around Hugh’s hand and pulls it tightly to crush it as hard as possible. Hugh is not able to escape and Calvin manages to leave the tiny space which was called the containment cube. IT goes around and eats a lab rat and grows even bigger. Rory Adams the American engineer thinks quickly on his feet and tries to help Hugh. However, this did not really help Rory, as Calvin now grabs hold off Rory’s leg. David Jordan who is the Crew Doctor now enters the mess and tries to remove the species. He cleverly uses fire and rescues them. It was believed that since there was no air in Mars, this creature remained dormant. However, on exposure to earth like atmosphere, it came back to life.

Now they try to get back to the standard orbit by using the little fuel that is left. They get inside one tiny module of the spacecraft, away from Calvin.

“ ‘Life’: How Sci-Fi Horror Gives Scientists a Bad Name”
There are so many movies in the name of science fiction that making sci-fi movies has also become very mainstream. Therefore, critics look at the scientific details more closely and the execution matters more. Just like the movie Frankenstein, a creature due to some scientific experiment grows to be a beast taking people’s life. This is also looked upon as a bad objectification of science and scientists. The idea of creative is more appropriate in the fields of the machine when it comes to living being and its creation, it seems slightly unrealistic.

Life hit the screens along with many other great movies – Power Rangers, CHiPs, Wilson. It had openings in almost three thousand screens which are a big number. It has finished fourth at the box office just under the movies Beauty and the Beast, Kong: Skull Island.
